The news coverage on the passing deaths of Michael Jackson<\/a>,\u00a0Farrah Fawcett<\/a> and Ed McMahon<\/a> shook the nation. These United States celebrities and entertainers were iconic figures in their own rights and created their own followings and cultures that affected the entire nation and the world.<\/p>\n

The media was (and still is today) in a frenzy covering the news of their deaths. Corporate news stations like CNN.com and ABC.com are reporting the details on the events surrounding their deaths. Bloggers are furiously blogging about how each of the celebrities lives have affected their own. Facebook and Twitter are at an all time high even with other celebrities, sending condolences and words of prayer to the families of the deceased.<\/p>\n

Corporate media has had a major impact on the web since conveying these events on the World Wide Web.

1. Tell how your products\/services appeal to a particular market. How does everyone benefit? What are the long-term features and benefits? Will there be consistency and longevity?<\/p>\n

2. Always use current news as a launching avenue for what’s going on in your business. Topics like the environment, politics and yes, entertainment can always become excellent sources for news in your business.<\/p>\n
